Chapter 859 The Duchy(2/2)
During the visit to the Governor's Mansion, Rennes kept observing Motherio with the eyes of souls. The other party was very respectful to him on the surface and said everything he knew. Even some secret matters were told calmly. He deeply hid the depression and unwillingness of losing his power in his heart, and there was still a little resentment, but not strong.
Rennes could understand Motherio's mood.
If it were me, I suddenly airborne and snatched everything I had. This person's prestige and status were too high, and the strength gap was so big that he didn't even have the courage to resist. I could only accept this way out.
When Motherio introduced Osian's upper class just now, Renn realized that this governor was very prestigious in the local area.
It can also be observed from the Q&A that Motherio is very good and has an upright person.
I secretly investigated myself in advance. Osian Province has a good evaluation of the Governor and is at the forefront among the governors of other provinces of the Empire.
Rennes is not stingy with giving opportunities such talents.
After a moment, in the spacious office on the top floor of the Governor's House, Rennes sat in the position that originally belonged to Motherio, while Motherio stood in front of him with his hands hindered his hands, looking like he was waiting for the judgment of fate.
"Motherio." Renn asked, "How long have you been to Osian?"
“Thirty-three years.”
Renn nodded. He could see Motherio's ability by being a provincial governor for so many years, and asked again: "Your family is all in Qingtan City, right?"
"Yes, sir." Motherio's heart tightened, but he answered truthfully.
"Your family is rooted in Osian, and your career and interests are also in this place. Now that I have deprived you of everything, will you hate me?" Renn asked playfully.
Motherio was startled, waved his hands repeatedly, and said with a wry smile: "How dare I hate you! Is the lord the Imperial Consort or the Holy Soul Wizard of the Supreme Council? Even if I give me one hundred courages, I dare not complain about you."
"It's really not at all?" Renn stared at him.
"I was really unwilling to give up at the beginning." Motherio hesitated and plucked his courage. "Just the day before yesterday, I went to Flanese Floating City to ask for the Duke, but he did not see me, and only asked Master Otiluk to lead the message and let me stand by with peace of mind."
He sighed, "Actually, I know the situation very well. Even if the Duke is willing to see me, there is no solution, so I accept it."
"I am going to move my family to Longpis after I've finished handing over to the adults."
Longpis is the duke of Tim Kennan and the city where Flanese Floating City is located.
The Eye of Soul saw that Motherio was telling the truth.
Ren stared at Motherio for a few seconds, but didn't say anything. The inexplicable pressure made him sweat on his forehead. Suddenly he heard Ren say, "I give you two choices now: the first one, the position of the governor of Sulanye Province is just vacant. I can appoint you as Governor of Sulanye as compensation..."
Motherio couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
The Sulanye Province is adjacent to the Osian province, just east of Osian, with an area of more than three times larger than Osian and a population of 30 million. Since Governor Huts died in Bambi City, countless people in the Empire have been staring at the position of this Governor, but they did not expect to fall on their heads.
Moreover, the Sulanye Province is also the sphere of influence of the Duke of Grey Eagle.
From Sulanye to the east is Duke of Longpis, who was originally a Balancer, and the Duke would definitely support this appointment.
Motherio almost agreed immediately, and finally managed to speak out.
He continued to listen to Renn: "Or, you can stay in Qingtan City, but you can no longer serve as the governor. I will hire you as the chief steward of the Duke of Osian to assist me in governing the territory. It is only temporary. It depends on your performance before your future promotion."
After saying that, Renn was waiting for Motherio's response.
He was willing to give Motherio a chance. In addition to his ability and familiarity with Osian, he also took a fancy to Motherio's personal talent.
Motherio is the legendary peak shadow assassin, but he is just over 100 years old and is quite young. He has a great chance to break through the holy level and become the king of shadows!
If you help him, you might be promoted in a few years.
Of course, the premise is to choose to stay.
After hearing the two choices, Motherio was delighted and hesitantly showed a look of hesitation on his face.
He has been the governor for more than 30 years. Although he is a poor province on the border, he is very concerned about the upper structure of the empire and knows how much power and influence Rennes has in the empire now. He is almost the master of the empire than his previous consuls!
How many people don’t have a chance to hold Rennes’ thigh.
But staying means leaving the balanced faction. Most of the strength and status he has today is up to his own efforts, but it is also inseparable from the support of Flannis Floating City. Suddenly, he has to draw a clear line with the balanced faction. Whether it is from his own character or personal feelings, it is difficult to accept for the moment.
Once you leave, there is no turning back.
Motheridon suddenly remembered what he had happened in Flannis the day before yesterday, and his heart was a little dull. It was obvious that he did not have much weight in the eyes of the Duke.
Maybe it’s time to choose another way out, and you can’t miss a once-in-a-lifetime great opportunity!
